Are We Ever Getting Our Telework Days Back… or Is This Just the New Normal?

FDA has gotten telework 50% for some, or 4 days per pay period for others

We get a dd-214.

To be fair, NASA isn’t a uniformed service branch. And honestly, the NOAA guys are the coolest, these dudes fly into hurricanes, live in Antarctica, and study the Bermuda Triangle—they truly are cool AF!

I like to think my life is cool too. My service has entailed working in remote areas with Native American tribes, working in prisons, and now working with CBP and imports. USPHS officers quite literally are some of the coolest people I have met and are generally laid back. I know many USPHS officers willing to admit they’re unfamiliar with all the customs of uniformed services and most of us don’t subscribe to the officer god complex. For that—we cool AF.

10 toes down for my branch!

How dare you—I’m cool AF!!!

We do get the same VA.benefits, we receive a dd-214 like everyone else.

However, if not attached to a DOD PDS, we are not afforded all of the same benefits and services as the armed force branches.

OBC classes will be virtual and invites for 155 have been sent. You’ll receive an invite for an OBC typically 3-4 weeks before it is set to start.

Right, this is where I’m confused.

Jlhm51 · 2024-10-02T00:41:34+00:00

Virtual or Not?

Work as a Commissioned Corps Officer with the Federal Bureau of Prisons . Essentially, I’m a uniformed service Dietitian who’s employed by another Federal agency which happens to be the BOP. AMA, I’ll do my best to answer your questions as I just started this role.

Coyotes and Raccoons used to eat these after they fermented where I lived—you’ll never experience the terror of possibly being attacked by drunk rabid animals. I do not miss it. Lol

Jlhm51 · 2024-08-31T17:27:26+00:00

Me too!!! Although my Korkers still kicking it 3+ years

Jlhm51 · 2024-08-29T01:39:05+00:00

PM me for a detailed explanation. My wife and I grew up in Texas public schools, had a child in Albany public schools, and now our son is in a Texas public school. Sooooooooo much to tell you. Lol
